Located just minutes from all the crowds, Denali Park Place is a tranquil paradise nestled in a quiet forested neighborhood. This home celebrates the essence of the Last Frontier - private treetop views of the majestic Alaska Range from a handcrafted home - and yet, is close to all the action! Add to that, a collection of Alaskan artwork adorning every room, Alaskan huskies to visit if you wish, a stack of heirloom sourdough waffles - and you can have a truly unique vacation experience! I have been hosting guests for over ten years- check the reviews on the other vacation rental site! Rooms are large and filled with natural light in a space made for mountain living. When it’s time to retire from the day, unwind in the open and airy living room and enjoy the panoramic views from large picture windows. Enjoy a home cooked meal, glass of wine or stream film favorites on the 52” screen TV. Retreat to the bedroom offering a sumptuous Queen-size bed, complete with a down comforter and loads of fluffy pillows. A living room couch also unfolds into an inviting Queen-size bed. The fully equipped kitchen has spices, oils, teas and coffee (any mode you want to make it – drip, French press, programmable coffee maker) as well as a variety of snacks and basics like flour, sugar etc. You will also find all the fixings for traditional sourdough waffles. A hands-on experience, you are provided with everything you need to make your own delicious sourdough waffles! Sourdough was a staple in Alaska history and this heirloom sourdough comes with a fascinating history you can read about at Alaska’s Golden Spoon. (It is also featured in The Homesteader’s Handbook by Tricia Brown) The laundry room is equipped with a state-of-the-art washer and dryer, and laundry soap. I find guests really appreciate the opportunity to catch up on their laundry during a busy vacation. The bathroom is stocked with towels, soap, shampoo and toilet paper – and even bubble bath for those inclined! The artwork that graces the walls are pieces I have collected since coming to Alaska in 1981. (and I love telling stories about every one of them!) A brochure with a brief history of each piece will make you too fall in love with the great artists of the Last Frontier! Hi-speed Internet and a large collection of Alaskan books will round out your entertainment needs. Contrary to most vacation rentals, there are NO additional cleaning fees on this property! Savor your own fresh prepared meals at home or visit one of the locally owned restaurants that abound. In fact, the renowned 229 Parks Restaurant & Tavern is just a short drive away – but be sure and make reservations well advance. Minutes away, Denali National Park offers visitors a variety of options from hikes to tours to experiences that will last a life time. You will have access to the entire upstairs of the house. The downstairs garage is merely storage and cleaning supplies, which we respectfully request no entrance. I offer privacy to my guests, but am totally available to answer questions and offer suggestions for hikes, restaurants etc. I live in a small cabin on the property. You can reach me by text or phone. I usually work mornings guiding tours in the park, and am usually available to answer questions or offer advice on the local area in the late afternoon and evenings. This is a quiet neighborhood. I love my neighbors. Parking is in front of the flower garden. Guests should bring groceries from Anchorage or Fairbanks. There are a couple small stores in the area though. (and a full sized grocery store in Healy which is 20 minutes away)
